CUTSHARE · x402

A pay-per-view-frame primitive for high-value video cuts. Creators embed 'Sponsor Walls' within footage; viewers sign a 0.01 USDC HTS transfer message to instantly unlock extended scenes, 4K renders, or sponsor-subsidized rebate codes. No gas, no bridge, just a signature for a frame-frame.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the creator monetization engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so videographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveCurrent monetization relies on bulky subscriptions or platform-wide ads. x402 enables 'micro-sponsorships' where the fan pays a cent to access a hidden link, which in turn triggers a smart-contract referral for the sponsor—creating a high-velocity feedback loop for ROI.
